Using the CLI to Configure Global Mesh Parameters
Using the controller CLI, follow these steps to configure global mesh parameters.
Note
Refer to the
“Using the GUI to Configure Global Mesh Parameters” section on page 8-16
descriptions, valid ranges, and default values of the parameters used in the CLI commands.
Step 1
To specify the maximum range (in feet) of all access points in the network, enter this command:
config mesh range
feet
To see the current range, enter
show mesh range
.
Step 2
To enable or disable client association on the primary backhaul (802.11a) of an access point, enter these
commands:
config mesh client-access
{
enable
|
disable
}
config ap wlan
{
enable
|
disable
}
802.11a
Cisco_AP
config ap wlan {add | delete} 802.11a
wlan_id
Cisco_AP
Step 3
To enable or disable VLAN transparent, enter this command:
config mesh ethernet-bridging vlan-transparent {enable
|
disable
}
Step 4
To define a security mode for the mesh access point, enter one of the following commands:
a.
To provide local authentication of the mesh access point by the controller, enter this command:
config mesh security {eap | psk}
b.
To store MAC address filter in an external RADIUS server for authentication instead of the
controller (local), enter these commands:
config macfilter mac-delimiter colon
config mesh security rad-mac-filter enable
config mesh radius-server
index
enable
Force External Authorization
When enabled along with
EAP
and
External MAC
Filter Authorization
parameters, an external
RADIUS server (such as Cisco 4.1 and later)
handles external authorization and authentication
for mesh access points by default. The RADIUS
server overrides local authentication of the MAC
address by the controller which is the default.
Default:
Disabled.
